Okay, My in laws.....that sounds so textbook......my other parents.....yeah, that sounds better...are in town and I love it! We don't get to see them much so we cherish the several times a year that we get to spend time with them. Not to mention that the boys love having someone else around to spoil them rotten! I of course take advantage of having them call out "GRANNY" instead of "MOMMY!"

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spend much time with my father in law because he and my husband have been in the "hole" Yep that's right....."the hole." Let me explain. We sprung a leak downstairs a while ago and my husband swore that he could fix it himself, thus saving us a grand or so. He ran into a few obstacles but that didn't stop him. Now that Pops is here, they have both taken on the mission to repair the pipes themselves! So for two days they have been in "the hole!" I guess I can't complain because the deed is done and we spent 1/8 of what we would have spent if we had paid someone else to do it. Sure my house is a mess and I missed out on some quality time with Pops but now we have hot water and for that I'm grateful!

The Dad: T

Teacher/Coach/Youth Minister.....you name it, he does it. But most of all, Terrance is a God-fearing man, a wonderful father, and husband and he is blessed with the patience of Job which is how he survives being the leader of our circus.

The Mom: Nita

I am first and foremost a follower of Christ, the mother of two handsome sons, and the wife of a man who wears many hats. I love my family, cheeseburgers, being a nurse, and most all caffeinated beverages (not necessarily in that order). This blog is all about my quest to be a better Christian, a better mom and a better wife. Sit back and enjoy...it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Big Bro: Evan

Our oldest son, Evan, is a charming 10 yr old who is what we like to call a 'gentle spirit' He is definitely a lover.....not a fighter and he's the least strong-willed of our two boys. He is a bit of a people pleaser (like his mommy). He's also a charmer and he is always there to provide comic relief when you need a good laugh!

Lil' Bro: Ian

Our youngest son, Ian, is 7 yrs old and the total opposite from his older brother. He's a serious fella (kind of like his dad) and he makes you work hard for his affection. But once he figures out that you can be trusted.... you've got a friend for life! He is the most strong willed of the two. I call him my middle linebacker!
